But what if China figured out a way to put the United States on the sidelines of their fight to regain Taiwan? Would they do it then?



Drawn from today's headlines, Red Tide: The Chinese Invasion of Seattle is set in a not-too-distant...

How do you train people to become better leaders? Almost 200,000 books exist on the topic, and American companies spend almost $14 billion annually on the pursuit of leadership training, but so far no one has come up with the definitive answer.
